Audioquest Demo

Ok,
I've been to tons of trainings and tons of shows over my years.Here is the Power guy demoing speaker cables. Trying to hear the subtle differences between all these cables on your computer even with headphones isn't a easy task BUT you can hear small differences.
From the Tin Lamp cord made decades ago with todays money, then moving onto Monster Cable who started the whole world of cables, like it or not we can thank Monster for all of our insane journey's of learning about cables. Check out the video.

My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

If the forum wanted a demo program with audioquest I could provide that. I have plenty.

We love demo programs! Haven’t had one in awhile. And gives cable naysayers a chance to try out some real cables! I say go for it!

I would love to try something new/different from AQ, for sure. But I wouldn't count on too many naysayers (who think it's a waste of money, time, or both) participating, much less giving their opinion. After all, skeptical poo piles will keep you safe and warm...

So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Hard for me to tell a difference on my phone but man this guy reminds me of William Shatner.

All joking aside I would like to hear a demo like this live.

I believe they are planning on doing this same demo at this year's Axpona:

"Garth will offer a brief history on speaker-cable development and technology, culminating with AudioQuest's sophisticated Ground-Noise Dissipation and ZERO Technologies for uncompressed high-current transfer. Listening comparisons to previous designs will allow guests to experience the difference for themselves."

I would really like to attend Axpona. I have yet to attend a show like this but don’t know I can make this one. I’m definitely not a naysayer on cables😀

If you can only make one show a year, make it this one. Several Polkies are traveling long distances to come. I'm flying in from California, Joe is driving up from Georgia. I believe another member just mentioned possibly coming from Oregon.

Plus @DSkip from Audio Thesis will have his own room at the show, with $60k(?) MastersounD monoblocks.

"What if we got rid of the characteristic impedance entirely, well that's what we've done".

With headphones I can definitely hear a difference however I struggle with the explanation. Is AQ defining "Characteristic Impedance" as something other than the cable's overall impedance? Super conduction at room temperature?

Really wish companies would just do what is taking place in this video and say "here, listen for yourself and buy what your ears like" and skip trying to explain why my ears like what they're hearing.

Just inserted a set of MIT Shotgun's (finally) into my main system and my ears love it, no explanation of why required.
